just counted all the eggs together, i've got between 100 and 110. They're all in a breeding net infront of the filer for waterflow.

She should be working with a male that joins her temporarily in a T position. The eggs are fertilized before they are placed. Beware, my knowledge about this is all book knowledge. I have been researching to breed but have never done it myself.

well there's another load of eggs. i have between 150-200 now....
They're all a creamy beige colour, so i'm guessing they're fertilised. |

oldman47 is dead on.
Seeing as they are beige it sounds to me like they are fertile. In a day or 2 you should notice a darkness in each egg. That's the fry developing. Depending on your species and water temperature they may hatch in 3-5 days. Congratulations! Cheers. |
